Shaving Brush with Chrome Handle Porcelain Limoges Box

An old fashioned shaving brush stands at attention, its bristle top painted soft and full and its handle finished in a cool silvery chrome tone. This is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box made in Limoges, France, a small salute to the ritual of the wet shave.

Lather, Rinse, Admire

The brush is one of those everyday objects that once lived on every barbershop counter. Here it becomes a little sculpture, with the metallic look painted on by hand so the handle catches light the way polished chrome does on a bathroom shelf.

Behind the Barber Chair

Set it on a dresser valet tray next to cufflinks and a watch, or on a shelf in a well kept bathroom. It is a clever Father's Day surprise, a groomsman thank-you, or a nod to a barber who has kept someone looking sharp for years. A retired barber in the family will understand it at once.

Shown together, the chrome and brown brushes make a handsome pair on a vanity.
